About Kria Botanicals
Kria Botanicals was founded in 2018 by two Peace Corps friends, Bill Lofy and Dan Chang, as part of a vision for a cooperative and innovative Vermont cannabis economy. Our experience growing hemp in northern Vermont led to a years-long process of establishing a premium contract manufacturing lab that incorporates the herbal apothecary into the world of cannabinoids.
We started small, perfecting the art of extraction in small batches. Over time, we expanded and added employees, and pivoted to manufacturing tinctures and topicals for national CBD brands. Our business has grown in size and scope. We added specialists with years of extraction and kitchen experience to our team. We expanded our operations to include scaled gummy production, and we built out a full-service, turnkey production facility serving both the CBD and THC markets.
Throughout our expansion, we’ve been led by a set of values: a focus on Vermont, a belief in social equity, and a commitment to sustainability and organic practices.
